A Day Without Sports

Just to show you guys we're in this together, I didn't throw y'all with girlfriends under the bus by pointing out that last night was the worst day of the sports calendar, as there were no sports on TV last night. Well, not exactly true, you could have watched a rebroadcast of Stage Four of the Tour de France or watched the soccer U-20 World Cup on Telemundo (Spanish-speaking announcers rule!), but for the average American sports fan, it was A Day Without Sports.

Which means, by all rights, your girlfriend or spouse had control of the clicker last night and could have forced you to watch a Meridith Baxter Bernie movie marathon on Lifetime, or whatever they were showing. Hopefully, you kept the Day Without Sports a big secret. Or, you pretended to like cycling or sports broadcast in foreign languages.

You should have been studying anyway.
